[Intro - whispered, reverb] They built a house inside my head I burned the blueprints instead [Verse 1 - deliberate rap cadence, baritone] Maps on the wall like holy scripture Every line a loop, every loop a fixture Tracing every time I learned to crawl Back to her, back to the version small Enough to fit inside the cage Diagrams of my own rage Last night I lit the match Watched it curl and detach Every arrow, every node Every pathway, every code Gone [Chorus - screamed, stadium echo] LOCKED OUT (locked out) LOCKED OUT (locked out) I'm a monster in the loop but I'm LOCKED OUT LOCKED OUT (locked out) Can't go back now Burned the map, broke the latch I'M LOCKED OUT [Verse 2 - slower, melodic delivery] Twenty-five years of architecture Trauma dressed up as a lecture Studied my own disaster Student serving a master Who was never gonna let me pass Shattered every looking glass They said you'll need these when you spiral Nah I wrote my own survival The diagrams were just a mirror Don't need the reflection clearer I know the monster — he's right here He just locked himself out of fear [Chorus - screamed, building intensity] LOCKED OUT (locked out) LOCKED OUT (locked out) I'm a monster in the loop but I'm LOCKED OUT LOCKED OUT Can't go back now Burned the map, broke the latch I'M LOCKED OUT [Bridge - stripped, spoken word, orchestral swell] The loop still turns I hear it humming through the walls But the door is shut And I don't answer when it calls [Final Chorus - full scream, no echo, raw] LOCKED OUT LOCKED OUT I'M A MONSTER IN THE LOOP BUT I'M LOCKED OUT [Outro - whispered] And the maps are ash now
